We didn't get any today. Too many good things want to get in our bellies!!!!

Indian food buffet for lunch. Mango mousse for desert

The calm before the storm

It's warming up a bit, days in the 60's and such. The first blush of green is starting to show through the browns and tans. Things are bowing and waving in the breezes, different from the harsh, brittle stand against the cold winter winds that blow. Traffic to the Natural Arch is picking up along with trailers towing 4 Wheelers and dirt bikes. No RV's yet, it's still a bit brisk for the tow behind homeowners.

We're getting our spring supplies ready. .... shears for the goats and Llama, research on ICF building supplies, bee information, gardening supplies for the high, dry altitude. We're also readying our bodies for the long, tough demands of a summer building and growing.

It all feels hopeful and good, like we're blooming along with the first buds of Spring.

Bee hive all assembled :D That happened yesterday, today Crys* already has it painted and it's just about ready for May when we get our bees from Grampa's Honey. Now we're thinking about hive number 2.......

It's a day early but I am SO Irish!!!

That was fun :D Crys* helped me with the green hair spray. Folks enjoyed it throughout the day. Our really tough decision is that since it's now actually St. Patties day, and we're going to Alamosa today..... do we throw down some Irish Car Bombs.... or continue to be good......

Arrivals...

Bee stuff is in. Assembly required. Slightly newer RV on the way, pictures as they become available
